New Paragraph
James Puopolo started training Jiu-Jitsu in January of 2005, shortly after he finished High School. James played for his high school basketball team and wanted to pick up boxing, though his father influenced him to take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instead after watching a few of the early UFC fights.
He honed his understanding and mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under legendary competitors Xande and Saulo Ribeiro and Rafael Lovato Jr. While maintaining a career as a math teacher, James managed to become one of the top grapplers in the country. He reached black belt status on October 2011, receiving his belt from
Rafael Lovato Jr.
